Pros

Nice people with a number genuinely interested in enveloping people and their personal needs

Cons

Global company in name only - international cooperation and sharing is very dependent on ex-CG people from Europe contacting their ex-colleagues Poor training - there is no budget or plan for training at any level and you only get it if your on the bench Patchy quality - there are a few very good people that you can learn a lot from but a lot of distinctly average people. The organisation doesn't seem to have the bench strength or depth of competitors IPP in the making - it's becoming increasingly clear that the sales organisation (yes, it's like a separate organisation that doesn't work well with the delivery brains) only gets low price, high volume selling, has no idea how consulting can help strengthen the value proposition or sell higher impact projects and build stronger client relationships. The leadership are almost entirely ex-IPP (especially Satyam) and seem to be well on the path to recreating that model. No follow-through - most people are fed-up with the promises that are made but never delivered on Exodus - the good people are fleeing the company at a very high rate Pipeline - the business (especially consulting) is on a downward trend with no plan on how to fix it

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
